Im sorry to hear this bro. I hope you can find a job within 6 months. Monster it bro.
Wala talagang stable dito sa US. I have known people from California living high as engineers for Cingular. Their network is sold to T-mobile and all engineers are replaced with subcons. They earn $80,000 a year bro pero ngayon nasaan na kaya mga yon siguro subcon na rin.

in socal Cingular used Ericsson network while AT&T is using Nokia. So dalawa na nong binili nila. What they did they sold their Ericsson network to T-mobile since naka roaming lang ang T-mobile subs sa socal. Concentrate na sila sa Nokia network ng AT&T ngayon.

No such thing as job security nowadays. you have to fend for yourself else you become complacent and are suddenly rendered obsolete. Unfortunately, everything that is information technology related can be outsourced unless it is location specific and requires specialized knowledge. Eventually, what jobs might be left are blue collar or service related.

July 25th, 2005 04:10 AM #29My condolences to those who are potentially losing their jobs, but there are jobs out there. They may not pay what you were accustomed to but they are out there. It just means that people need to adjust and do whatever it takes to support one's family. $30 per hour is relatively a lot of money but there are millions of people who "live" or far less. The problem's with todays job market are exposing the irreputable problem that people are living "above" their means. According to one of the publications, a large majority of people living in the US save less than 2% of their salaries. Which means that they literally live from paycheck to paycheck. Most economist and business advisors recommend that you save an average of 6 months worth of salaries in the bank and not use it. Put it in CDs and save it as an emergency fund. Housing should cost apprx. 25% of net income every month. Without the savings and over-extending yourself on house and car payments will result in a volatile situation where you are absolutely dependent on your job. With the current economy, blue collar work are no longer the only jobs at risk. There are quite a few management and upper level positions in jeopardy due to high salaries and benefits. Off-shore companies offer more efficient, if not better quality of service, for a fraction of what us workers cost. I can't blame the US companies because they are no longer competing just within the us, but on a global scale. They have to stay competative or risk lossing the whole company. I know it sounds gloomy, but here my two cents; live within your means & make yourself indespensable. (get an education, special training, new profession..) The us is still the land of opportunity, you just have to be willing to work for it. Trust me, there are millions of our fellow pinoys back home that would trade their problem for yours...
